Just go ahead and have fun in training, cheers!
You don't have to compete if you go to a gym, its still your choice if you want to train and not fight you prob wouldn't get the chance to fight a couple of year anyway. The gym should have all the equipment you need, just take yourself in trainers, shorts and tshirt.
And finally as for being knocked out iv been knocked a couple of times doing mma once in a fight and few in training, and really it depends on how hard they hit you :) iv been knocked out and gagging to get back in the fight when i woke, and then iv been knocked out where im too disoriented to physically get up. You don't feel anything when your asleep lol but waking up can be a pain in the **** sometimes or you can hardly feel it and wonder what happened.
It sucks to get KOed. You don't feel the punch, you hear it, and when you get your head right and finally get everything working again, you know something isn't right. Not a pleasant feeling at all. As for starting off, the best thing you can do is train at a gym with adequate and proper supervision. The last thing you need to do is become a human punching bag for a bunch of gym rats. It's too easy to get hurt without proper supervision, so choose a reputable gym.
Well after the flash of a nova setting off in your brain settles to darkness, then its sleep albeit a painful one.
Come on over and I'll give you a donkey punch.
I want to join boxing but I want to know what it feels like for you to get knocked out? And if I go to a boxing gym do you compete against other places or can you just train without competing? Also what will I need to start off?(equipment)
